Our 6th graders created art projects as an alternative assessment for the memoir, “Woodsong'' by Gary Paulsen. We studied this memoir, as well as the Iditarod Sled Dog Race, for a substantial portion of quarter 3. The goal of this project is to capture the raw beauty, challenges, and spiritual connection to nature depicted in the book and the Iditarod, focusing on a student selected scenes that embody the essence of being immersed in nature.
To bring these scenes to life, the students were allowed to employ a variety of artistic mediums and techniques that would depict the beauty and sense of wonder experienced by Paulsen and his dogs in “Woodsong” in a creative way.
